Gregor Kobel and Waldemar Anton remain out for Borussia Dortmund's Bundesliga clash with Mainz on Saturday, head coach Nuri Sahin revealed at a press conference on Friday.
BVB will also be without Adeyemi (hamstring), Bensebaini (suspended), Duranville (thigh), Reyna (groin) and Süle (ankle).
On the bright side for Sahin, Julian Ryerson and Yan Couto should be available again.
"Waldemar Anton won't make it, Ramy Bensebaini is suspended. Gregor Kobel is training individually, so we don't want to take any risks. We're expecting Julian Ryerson and Yan Couto to be fit for tomorrow's game," said Sahin.
The injury situation means that Pacal Gross and Emre Can are likely to continue to play out of position at right-back and centre-back respectively.
“Emre has played three very good games at centre-back, and Pascal has also done a great job in an unfamiliar position. But defensively in particular, the boys have all done really well recently,” said Sahin.
